Letters of Sri Aurobindo

Volume II - Part 2

Fragment ID: 11398

If this arrangement [in work] gives no time for meditation – no time for going inside and establishing there the peace, wideness and joy in which you can meet the Divine inside and in work – it seems defective. What I meant is that it is not necessary either to work all the time or to intoxicate the brain by unrelieved meditation as some do. The result of meditation can be obtained by work, but then you must be able or learn to live inwardly even in the work and to do all from within.
